Default help!!! gas leak

Soon my wife was driving or 96 tahoe today and she got home and said it smelled like gas. I went to check on the car and could definitely smell gas. Checked under the hood and could smell gas but not find any. Started to look in different places and found gas uon the frame next to the gas tank just in front of the rear driver wheel well. Any suggestions on common leaks in this area.

some possible leak points are metal fuel lines, fuel pump/sending unit to tank o-ring...the tank itself if its metal


its kinda hard to see above the tank unless the driveshaft is unbolted and lowered.

Right, mine tahoe is lowered as well so really can't see anything. I'm taking it to my mechanic tomorrow and I'll keep on posting
